Vintage Sunflower Ceramic Square Serving Platter Scalloped Rim 12 Inch

DESCRIPTION

A wonderfully warm vintage ceramic serving platter centered with two exuberant golden sunflowers against a rich terracotta-red ground.

Deep green foliage, curling stems and touches of golden yellow give the floral design wonderful depth, while the softly scalloped square silhouette keeps the piece from feeling overly formal. At approximately twelve inches across, it has enough scale to make a beautiful centerpiece on the table even when it isn't being used for serving.

WORTH NOTING

The saturated terracotta, gold and green palette gives this piece a particularly lovely Tuscan-inspired character—equally at home serving appetizers or displayed upright on a plate stand between gatherings.

A small chip is present along one scalloped edge and has been considered in our pricing. Please see the detailed photographs.

MEASUREMENTS

Approximately 12 inches square with a shallow scalloped rim. Please see photographs for additional scale.

CONDITION

Good vintage condition with a small chip along one scalloped edge and light surface wear consistent with previous use and age.

The floral decoration remains wonderfully vivid. Please review all photographs closely, particularly the glaze, scalloped edges and noted chip, as they form part of the condition description.

STYLE NOTES

Sunflowers, terracotta and deep green give this platter the warmth of an old-world kitchen. Beautiful for antipasti, pastries or a generous arrangement of fruit—and just as appealing displayed between uses.

It would layer especially well with rustic pottery, warm woods, woven linens and other Italian- or Tuscan-inspired tableware.
